Damn 360 is actually growing in Japan, despite not getting any more new exclusive RPGS for the year (outside of Magna Carta 2?) ? Wow.

The back catalogue isn't removed from sale each year so perhaps it's feasible the image of the 360 has changed enough that people are looking at it as a valid alternative to the PS3 more and more. When you consider all the games that have been released previously and plenty more to come its not that hard to see why the sales have picked up. I doubt the 360 will ever outsell the PS3 for more than the odd week or two this generation but it does make it look like there is at least some improvement in the Japanese publics perception for future "foreign" consoles in the future.

Numbers not great this week, 360 only is impressive now because of poor past performances. Last place is still last place in Japan.

Kowenicki always looks for some form of way to make the ps3 look bad next to the 360.

I dont know why, but thats what 90% of his posts consist of..

And guess what 90% of your posts consist of...
